Summary: Good for you, Scooby Doo!
Review: It is so funny that it made my whole family laugh. I am glad that they are making a new movie that is coming out next year. It makes it better when you here that RUBEN STUDDARD is going to be in the next movie! I can't believe that they could make such a good and funny movie at one time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scooby-doo
Review: I'll admit this movie was funny and cute at times, but overall I didn't care too much for it. There was just something about it. I think it was a little too immature. In making a live action movie out of the cartoon, I think the creators of the movie could have done a little better job by making it one-of-a-kind, and not just like the show. The storyline was just like any regular episode. In my opinion, they should have put a little more effort and creativity in making the movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "Do yourself a favour and get off this island"
Review: Scooby-Doo is mercifully short - at only 83 minutes - which is probably the best thing that can be said about it. Whatever the director and producers were trying to achieve by bringing Hanna-Barbera's classic cartoon to life, it's fairly safe to say they failed. Despite excellent character interpretations by Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini as Shaggy and Velma, the fleshing out of the Mystery Inc. team is disappointingly shallow. As is the irritating mission of self-discovery and angst each character goes through before discovering that (surprise, surprise) teamwork is best.

The film could be forgiven many of its foibles if only it was rib-ticklingly hilarious. Unfortunately it suffers from trying to cater both to a young audience, and also to adults who fondly remember the cartoon from their childhood days. Rowan Atkinson is cringingly unfunny as the strange proprietor of Spooky Island amusement park, and surely even kids are by now impervious to fart and snot jokes. However, the sequence inside the spooky abandoned castle raises a few hearty chuckles.

The trademark unlikeliness of the situations Mystery Inc. got themselves into in the cartoon doesn't transfer well into realism. The plot, which has a number of large holes, concerns the mysterious change in behaviour of college students who are holidaying at the resort of Spooky Island. And, it has to be admitted, that thanks to some great sets and the wonders of CGI, the resort looks like a pretty cool place to spend a vacation. The construction of the theme park has awakened some ancient (and quite scary, considering the PG-rating) monsters, so it's up to the team to unmask the villain and save the world. But the best way of saving yourself is to avoid watching this movie.

Summary: Scooby Doo,what happened to you?
Review: I'm a huge SD fan,and I love the new series(What's New Scooby Doo?).But this...is just trash."Did you see Scooby Doo it is great and the part when yak yak yak yak yak see it it's funny hahahahahah"....i've heard that from everyone at my school.So I decided to see it.Ok,let me explain it to you.Scooby and the Mystery Inc,after solving a mystery,all leave the group.A few years later they all go to a theme park to see what's wrong with a group of kids.You know what's wrong?They're souls have been stolen..... by Scrappy Doo.Why did he suddenly become evil?How come he tried to kill "Uncle Scooby"?It's confusing and just plain horrible.
My Opinion:The actors were horrible(Freddie Prinze Jr?Come on!),Scooby was some sort of animated piece of poo,and the humour was not funny."Ohmygosh did you see when this person did that oh that was hillarious hahahahhaah!".Unless you think farting is funny,you wouldn't like it.The songs were annoying and repetitive(Scooby Doo where are you scooby doo scooby doo where are you)and I don't have the soundtrack(or movie,for that matter).The only good thing about this is Matthew Lillard,who did a great job of doing Shaggy.Other then that,if you didn't see this in thearters,don't buy it.Or even rent this disgrace to the cartoon.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just another cash-in movie, 0 stars!!
Review: I just want to forget this movie forever, and continue to apreciate the cartoon itself, 'cause this adaptation is a tottaly disgrace!! It ruins with the name of Scooby-doo, so, don't watch it! Instead, watch Zombie Island, THAT'S A REALLY SCOOBY DOO STORY!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: REALLY COOL MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is a really good movie. This is the best movie based on a cartoon ever.The story is realy good. The actors do a good job portraying the characters. The costumes look goofy only at the beginning of the movie. There is some raelly cool stuff on this DVD too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Scooby Definitely Don't
Review: I took my kids to see this movie thinking that it's PG and it's Scooby so it should be alright. OH MAN, WAS I WRONG!!! I don't like the way the Sarah Michelle Gellar turned Dafney into Buffy. (She must have gotten her charactors confused.) I also detest the way that they made Scrappy Doo into a preverted foul mouthed villian. I was thoroughly disgusted with the part showing Scrappy Doo urinating on Dafney "marking his territory." The list goes on and on and on of all the things I didn't like in this movie, but I'm limited on space. The only charactors that I liked were Shaggy and Vilma, Scooby's animation and voice could have been done much better. Overall I don't recommend this movie for children of any age and recommend it only for adults with a sick sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE!
Review: Did you ever watch a movie, watch it again and watched it
yet another time, but just never grew tired of seeing it?
That is how our family feels about this movie.
Set on Spooky Island, the Scooby Gang sets out to solve a
mystery, but not as a group, they each plan to figure this one
out alone. The characters are charming, the special effects
are great, the mystery is just right for all ages.
This was one of those movies that you are sorry it is over.
Very well done, great job all the way around!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Much better than expected!
Review: I'm tempted to give it 5 stars, as this was a very enjoyable picture - I'd actually give it 4 1/2.

This was far better than expected, but then I expected very little. I was afraid it would be a showcase of computer animation, and I actually found I liked Scooby, they used him just enough, but not too much. Shaggy really stole the show for me, and it was great to see Linda Cardellini as Velma...love her!

I was actually surprised by the villian, and it was a perfect choice. (I'm not easily surprised, I figured out the Sixth Sense in the first 10 minutes)

If you are a kid, you'll like this movie. If you are an adult who watched the cartoon as a kid, you'll probably like this movie. I actually wish they had more of the predictable cartoon-like action sequences (running in place, ghosts sneaking up behind you, etc.)

C'mon people, this isn't Shakespeare, it's a talking dog that eats a lot. Lighten up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good!!!
Review: This film is almost perfect except for one thing...i would say some of the scenes like when the "souls" come out of people's bodys may be a bit too intense for some younger viewers. But on the other hand, this film directly connects to the cartoon version and is very entertaining. The voices match each other perfectly and the actors are great. Many Scooby Doo fans will certainly enjoy this movie.
